Child/Teenager Sexual Abuse at School

Every day, parents drop their kids off at school and in doing so entrust their children’s safety and well being to the hands of teachers, administrators, and other school personnel. Sadly, this trust can be shattered when someone in a position of authority at school takes advantage of their child, or when negligent supervision or security protocols allow another party to do so. While there may be no way to predict these horrible acts, being able to identify signs of sexual abuse is important as it can help parents to recognize a need for intervention.

At the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., we are passionately committed to helping our clients to hold the despicable parties who would abuse a child accountable for the harm that they have done. In addition to the typical criminal case that a prosecutor might pursue, a civil lawsuit can help you to gain the financial resources that you need to attend to your child’s needs if he or she has been the victim of an egregious act.

Behaviors of Sexually Abused Children

Knowing the behaviors of sexually assaulted children is crucial in identifying the abuse. The following are behaviors associated with children who have been or are being sexually abused:

  • Depression/Grief
  • Shame/Guilt
  • Display of sexual knowledge beyond their age group
  • Dependency on loved ones

This is not an exhaustive list but it is representative of the kinds of behaviors associated with sexually abused children and teenagers. If your child has been sexually abused at school, it is important that you seek justice so that future acts can be prevented and that your child’s abuse-related needs can be met.
